El Rancho Motel

The El Rancho Motel was great. Very clean, friendly. Their concern for our comfort was nice. The only complaint was that Hotel.com had overbooked the room we were to be in. The lady that runs the motel was able to offer us another room. Next time we will book directly through the facility!

This place is good for where it is at. It really is just a road side stop because you need a bed and a shower in the morning. And in that it does very well. I would stay here again if I needed to, The staff is great

Nicely renovated old style motel with down to earth owner and friendly dog & cat on premises. Clean room with comfortable bed and good amenities, and extra towels provided for use at the hot springs. Room could be improved with blackout curtains and/or shades for better privacy and darkness in morning for people who want to sleep late.

Great check in even though there was some confusion due to an erroneous listing on Expedia. Was given a room with two full beds instead of the king we cooked but it all worked out. All the appliances worked well and the room was very quiet
